Toilet seat with wings and stabilizing members

Abstract

A commercial toilet seat for use in public facilities for adults where the improved toilet seat has a stabilizing base section which conforms to the upper rim of a toilet for stability when people, especially large adult people, sit on a toilet. The toilet seat provides a greater surface area of contact between the toilet seat and the rim of the toilet and a greater surface area to sit on. The toilet seat also has downwardly slopping wings that extend from each side of the toilet seat which allow the user to more easily lift the toilet seat.

 c. said bottom portion having a first interior partial circumferential wall with a first interior circumferential bottom surface that partially surrounds said open area and a second interior partial circumferential wall at a spaced apart radial distance from the first interior partial circumferential wall with a second interior circumferential bottom surface, the respective bottom surfaces of the first and second interior circumferential walls including a horizontal section configured to rest on the upper rim of the toilet bowl when said toilet seat is horizontally aligned; 
 d. a multiplicity of spaced apart transverse stabilizing ribs extending in a radial horizontal direction from the first interior circumferential wall past the second interior circumferential wall by individual radial distances and then extending at an upward slope until each respective multiplicity of spaced apart transverse stabilizing ribs join an exterior circumferential wall, the upwardly sloped portion of said transverse stabilizing ribs positioned below said top section which extends beyond the exterior circumference of the exterior upper rim of the toilet bowl; and 
 e. a left wing extending from an exterior left side of said exterior circumferential wall and a right wing extending from an exterior right side of said exterior circumferential wall. 
 
     
     
       5. The toilet seat in accordance with  claim 4 , further comprising: said top surface is sloped and semi-bowl shape.
